Cheap Flights to Gifhorn from HK$638

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gifhorn could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gifhorn in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close 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 heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
