We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Hai Duong before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hai Duong in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
