Cheap Flights to Sandutang from HK$1,527

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Sandutang escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Sandutang a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
