Cheap Flights to Nantan from HK$864

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Nantan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Nantan a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
