Cheap Flights to Bocholt from HK$3,187

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Bocholt.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Bocholt easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
