Cheap Flights to Slagelse from HK$2,457

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Slagelse holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Slagelse, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach 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, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• 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). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
