Cheap Flights to Emsdetten from HK$5,242

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Emsdetten escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Emsdetten, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
