Cheap Flights to Yao from HK$336

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Yao.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Yao, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
