Cheap Flights to Winsen from HK$1,448

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Winsen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Winsen in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, 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.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
