Cheap Flights to Pfronten from HK$1,459

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Pfronten. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pfronten in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? 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-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
