Cheap Flights to Weimar from HK$1,704

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Weimar could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit 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 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Weimar, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
