Cheap Flights to Wilhelmshaven from HK$2,894

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Wilhelmshaven could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Wilhelmshaven quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
