Cheap Flights to Elbing from HK$2,596

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Elbing vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Elbing, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
