Cheap Flights to Stolberg from HK$548

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Stolberg in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Stolberg, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
