We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Xia County in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Xia County easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
