Cheap Flights to Zhoushan from HK$610

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Zhoushan could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Zhoushan, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
