Cheap Flights to Engelsbrand from HK$543

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Engelsbrand escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Engelsbrand, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
