Cheap Flights to Gatzen from HK$3,395

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your holiday in Gatzen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Gatzen, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
