Cheap Flights to Tianshui from HK$1,102

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Tianshui.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Tianshui a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, 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 as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
