Cheap Flights to Amberg from HK$497

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Amberg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Amberg, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
