Cheap Flights to Kenzingen from HK$277

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Kenzingen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Kenzingen, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• 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 before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
