Cheap Flights to Ulaan Chab from HK$890

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Ulaan Chab vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ulaan Chab, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
