We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Douliou in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Douliou quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
