Cheap Flights to Scherwiller from HK$740

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Scherwiller could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Scherwiller a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
