We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Yanbian in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Yanbian quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
