Cheap Flights to Shuangfu from HK$745

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Shuangfu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Shuangfu in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
