Cheap Flights to Xichu from HK$958

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Xichu before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Xichu a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
