Cheap Flights to Bruchhausen-Vilsen from HK$3,501

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Bruchhausen-Vilsen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Bruchhausen-Vilsen quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
