Cheap Flights to Bedburg-Hau from HK$746

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bedburg-Hau could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bedburg-Hau quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
