Cheap Flights to Butzbach from HK$1,430

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Butzbach could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Butzbach a breeze. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
