Cheap Flights to Itzehoe from HK$1,448

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Itzehoe could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Itzehoe a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
