Cheap Flights to Tarnewitz from HK$599

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tarnewitz could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Tarnewitz, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
