Cheap Flights to Wedel from HK$1,475

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Wedel escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wedel in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
