If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Qiaojia County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Qiaojia County quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
