Cheap Flights to Wanluan from HK$377

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Wanluan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Wanluan, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
