Cheap Flights to Guoyang County from HK$2,124

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Guoyang County holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure 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 Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Guoyang County, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
