Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Chengde could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Chengde a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
