Cheap Flights to Hochheim am Main from HK$415

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Hochheim am Main. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Hochheim am Main, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
