Cheap Flights to Gosau from HK$2,894

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gosau could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Gosau a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
