Cheap Flights to Schwielochsee from HK$2,585

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Schwielochsee.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking 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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Schwielochsee a breeze. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, 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 moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
