Cheap Flights to Youxi County from HK$905

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Youxi County could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Youxi County a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
