Cheap Flights to Gresten from HK$923

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Gresten.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Gresten a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
