Cheap Flights to Illmensee from HK$30,525

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Illmensee escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Illmensee, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
