Cheap Flights to Chiny from HK$748

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Chiny in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Chiny a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
