Cheap Flights to Lutherstadt Wittenberg from HK$4,669

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lutherstadt Wittenberg could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Lutherstadt Wittenberg easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
