Cheap Flights to Qidong

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Qidong could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Qidong, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
