Cheap Flights to Schenefeld from HK$490

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Schenefeld.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Schenefeld, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
