Cheap Flights to Kriftel from HK$830

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Kriftel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Kriftel, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
