Cheap Flights to Szentgotthard from HK$2,840

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

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Szentgotthard in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
