Cheap Flights to Kirchlengern from HK$915

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kirchlengern escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Kirchlengern, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
