Cheap Flights to Blindheim from HK$455

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Blindheim escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Blindheim, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, 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 before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
