Cheap Flights to Fuzhou from HK$820

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fuzhou could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Fuzhou a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
