Cheap Flights to Ger from HK$129

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Ger before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ger, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
