If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Yangxi County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Yangxi County, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
