Cheap Flights to Rankweil from HK$530

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Rankweil.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rankweil, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
