Cheap Flights to Oberelsbach from HK$1,978

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Oberelsbach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Oberelsbach a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
