Cheap Flights to Bad Sachsa from HK$1,215

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Bad Sachsa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Bad Sachsa, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
