Cheap Flights to Pingshan County from HK$435

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Pingshan County.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Pingshan County, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
