Cheap Flights to Biling from HK$943

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Biling holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Biling a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
