Cheap Flights to Bad Hoenningen from HK$465

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Bad Hoenningen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bad Hoenningen in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
