Cheap Flights to Laichingen from HK$324

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Laichingen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Laichingen, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
