Cheap Flights to Tieschen from HK$4,635

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Tieschen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tieschen in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
