Cheap Flights to Halle from HK$2,059

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Halle could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Halle easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids 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-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
