Cheap Flights to Tiantai from HK$1,095

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Tiantai in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Tiantai easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
