Cheap Flights to Nanping from HK$1,575

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Nanping holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nanping before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
