Cheap Flights to Schramberg from HK$646

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Schramberg holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Schramberg before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
