Cheap Flights to Heiligenblut from HK$4,727

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Heiligenblut. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Heiligenblut in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
