Cheap Flights to Taizhou from HK$1,036

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Taizhou could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Taizhou, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
