Cheap Flights to Hilpoltstein from HK$1,083

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Hilpoltstein. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Hilpoltstein a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
