Cheap Flights to Xiawuli from HK$798

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Xiawuli vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Xiawuli in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
