Cheap Flights to St. Stephan from HK$949

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring St. Stephan in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to St. Stephan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
