Cheap Flights to Schildow from HK$228

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Schildow escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Schildow a piece of cake. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
