Cheap Flights to Oberaudorf from HK$493

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Oberaudorf could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Oberaudorf a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
