Cheap Flights to Weihai from HK$6,446

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Weihai.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Weihai before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
