Cheap Flights to Hunchun from HK$926

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Hunchun. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Hunchun, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a 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-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
