We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Beinan in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Beinan in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
