Cheap Flights to Hesel from HK$1,344

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hesel could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Hesel, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
