Cheap Flights to Werther from HK$1,196

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Werther holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents 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 of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Werther a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
