Cheap Flights to Friesdorf from HK$3,779

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your time in Friesdorf. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Friesdorf easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with 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 clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
