Cheap Flights to Braunau am Inn from HK$287

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Braunau am Inn could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Braunau am Inn, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
