Cheap Flights to Greiz from HK$3,520

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Greiz. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Greiz, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
