Cheap Flights to Espelkamp from HK$656

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Espelkamp escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Espelkamp in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
