Cheap Flights to Ballenstedt from HK$3,127

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

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Ballenstedt a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
