Cheap Flights to Longjiang County from HK$1,660

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Longjiang County could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Longjiang County in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) 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. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
