Cheap Flights to Nyingtri from HK$1,341

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Nyingtri in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Nyingtri, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
