Cheap Flights to Wei County from HK$1,430

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Wei County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wei County in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
