Cheap Flights to Hellwege from HK$1,651

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Hellwege holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hellwege before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
