Cheap Flights to Grafenhausen from HK$1,999

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grafenhausen could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Grafenhausen, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
