Cheap Flights to Rettenberg from HK$2,129

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rettenberg could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rettenberg before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
