Cheap Flights to Ehrwald from HK$540

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ehrwald could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ehrwald in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
