Cheap Flights to Garlitz from HK$412

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Garlitz escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Garlitz, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger 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 take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
