Cheap Flights to Fengbin from HK$1,325

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Fengbin. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fengbin before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
