Cheap Flights to Otterbach from HK$1,907

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Otterbach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Otterbach a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
