Cheap Flights to Nymburk from HK$290

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Nymburk.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nymburk in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
