Cheap Flights to Burgau from HK$272

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Burgau. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank 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 luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Burgau a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
