Cheap Flights to Cheb from HK$412

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Cheb.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Cheb easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
