Cheap Flights to Ehenbichl from HK$262

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Ehenbichl. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ehenbichl before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
