Cheap Flights to Geislingen an der Steige from HK$462

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Geislingen an der Steige holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Geislingen an der Steige, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
