Cheap Flights to Ottrott from HK$2,187

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ottrott could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Ottrott, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
