Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Luolong could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Luolong in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
