Cheap Flights to Ligang from HK$574

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Ligang. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Ligang easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
