Cheap Flights to Pfaffenweiler from HK$1,980

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Pfaffenweiler holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Pfaffenweiler a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
