Cheap Flights to Bad Berleburg from HK$553

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Bad Berleburg holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bad Berleburg in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
