Cheap Flights to Langxi County from HK$965

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Langxi County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Langxi County a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
