No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Zixi County vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Zixi County quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
