Cheap Flights to Verden from HK$4,695

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Verden holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Verden in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
