Cheap Flights to Heyuan from HK$2,247

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Heyuan could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Heyuan in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
