Cheap Flights to Tristach from HK$4,552

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tristach could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up 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 a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy 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 promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Tristach a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents 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 contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
