Cheap Flights to Bad Vilbel from HK$1,417

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bad Vilbel could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bad Vilbel a piece of cake. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
