Cheap Flights to Capellen from HK$849

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your time in Capellen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Capellen in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
