Cheap Flights to Shere from HK$1,531

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Shere escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Shere in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
