Cheap Flights to Xiantao from HK$938

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Xiantao could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Xiantao a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
