Cheap Flights to Shiyang from HK$935

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Shiyang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Shiyang a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
