Cheap Flights to Krumbach from HK$509

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Krumbach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Krumbach easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
