Cheap Flights to Bergkamen from HK$229

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Bergkamen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Bergkamen, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
