Cheap Flights to Kaumberg from HK$553

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

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kaumberg, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
