Cheap Flights to Wittlich from HK$2,845

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Wittlich escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Wittlich, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible 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 or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
