Cheap Flights to Metauten from HK$4,987

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Metauten could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Metauten in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
