Cheap Flights to Wasserburg from HK$727

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Wasserburg escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wasserburg in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
