Cheap Flights to Esch-sur-Alzette from HK$573

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Esch-sur-Alzette. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Esch-sur-Alzette, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater 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 precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
