Cheap Flights to Waldrach from HK$813

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Waldrach escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring 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 hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Waldrach quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
