Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lac Duong could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Lac Duong a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
