Cheap Flights to Suizhou from HK$910

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Suizhou holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

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

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Suizhou in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
