Cheap Flights to Tihany from HK$229

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Tihany before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy 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 staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Tihany a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
