Cheap Flights to Schoemberg from HK$651

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Schoemberg could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember 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 hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Schoemberg, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
