Cheap Flights to Willigen from HK$439

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Willigen could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Willigen, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
