Cheap Flights to Neustadt bei Coburg from HK$901

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Neustadt bei Coburg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Neustadt bei Coburg in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
