Cheap Flights to Hillesheim from HK$4,356

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Hillesheim holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Hillesheim quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
