Cheap Flights to Oberhausen from HK$947

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Oberhausen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Oberhausen, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, 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 as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
