Cheap Flights to Friedrichshafen from HK$29,454

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Friedrichshafen in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Friedrichshafen in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
