Cheap Flights to Windisch Minihof from HK$1,517

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Windisch Minihof holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Windisch Minihof in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
