Cheap Flights to Jiangcheng County from HK$1,437

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Jiangcheng County could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Jiangcheng County, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
