Cheap Flights to Urfeld am Walchensee from HK$951

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Urfeld am Walchensee holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Urfeld am Walchensee in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
