Cheap Flights to Mulhouse from HK$619

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mulhouse could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Mulhouse, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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.
