Cheap Flights to Wittingen from HK$1,513

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Wittingen escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wittingen in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
