Cheap Flights to Chenggu County from CA $199

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Chenggu County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Chenggu County in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
