Cheap Flights to Schierling from HK$951

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Schierling could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Schierling quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
