Cheap Flights to Schonach im Schwarzwald from HK$749

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

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Schonach im Schwarzwald easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
