Cheap Flights to Sassenberg from HK$5,392

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sassenberg could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Sassenberg a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
