Cheap Flights to Fuding from HK$915

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your getaway in Fuding. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fuding in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
