Cheap Flights to Touwu from HK$623

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Touwu could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of 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 legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Touwu, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
