Cheap Flights to Huaibei from HK$1,256

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Huaibei before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Huaibei a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
