Cheap Flights to Wuzhishan from HK$590

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Wuzhishan escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wuzhishan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
