Cheap Flights to Shangrao from HK$952

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Shangrao.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Shangrao before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
