Cheap Flights to Düren from HK$750

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Düren. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Düren before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
