Cheap Flights to Todtmoos from HK$3,819

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Todtmoos holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Todtmoos in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
