Cheap Flights to Shoufeng from HK$1,374

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Shoufeng could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Shoufeng in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
