We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Yongzhou in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Yongzhou, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
