Cheap Flights to Jieyang from HK$1,125

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jieyang could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Jieyang in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
