Cheap Flights to Strasshof an der Nordbahn from HK$442

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Strasshof an der Nordbahn could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Strasshof an der Nordbahn before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
