Cheap Flights to Diaolongzui from HK$458

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

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Diaolongzui in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
