Cheap Flights to Hai'an from HK$1,213

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Hai'an escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Hai'an, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
