Cheap Flights to Countryside from HK$540

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Countryside in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Countryside in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
