Cheap Flights to Straubing from HK$799

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Straubing escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Straubing a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
