• A plane trip can be a great experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Hoa Lu quick and painless. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
