Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Taishan could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Taishan in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It’s also possible you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
