Cheap Flights to Hainzenberg from HK$262

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hainzenberg could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

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

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hainzenberg before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
