Cheap Flights to Brilon from HK$4,149

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brilon could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Brilon, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
