If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Zhuhai. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
 
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
 
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
 - The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
