Cheap Flights to Huai'an from HK$800

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Huai'an could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Huai'an before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• 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 jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
