Cheap Flights to Yingpancun from HK$797

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Yingpancun escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yingpancun in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
