Cheap Flights to Schriesheim from HK$845

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your time in Schriesheim. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Schriesheim quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
