Cheap Flights to Hahn from HK$996

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hahn could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hahn in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• 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 heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
