Cheap Flights to Yucheng County from HK$1,223

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Yucheng County escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Yucheng County before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
