Cheap Flights to Brilon from HK$3,187

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Brilon in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Brilon in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
