Cheap Flights to Neu Zauche from HK$489

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Neu Zauche holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure 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 fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Neu Zauche before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
