If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Zhen'an County.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Zhen'an County, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
