Cheap Flights to Chuzhou from HK$901

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chuzhou could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chuzhou before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
