We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Chau Doc before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Chau Doc, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
