Cheap Flights to Sieversen from HK$1,295

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Sieversen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room 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:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Sieversen easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
