Cheap Flights to Salzgitter from HK$458

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Salzgitter. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salzgitter in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
