Cheap Flights to Prichsenstadt from HK$2,747

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Prichsenstadt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Prichsenstadt a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
