Cheap Flights to Walldorf from HK$260

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Walldorf. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Walldorf in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
