Cheap Flights to Ningtangcun from HK$2,045

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Ningtangcun vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ningtangcun before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
