Cheap Flights to Gries am Brenner from HK$356

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gries am Brenner could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Gries am Brenner quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
