Cheap Flights to Bayreuth from HK$816

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bayreuth could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bayreuth easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
