Cheap Flights to Ursberg from HK$482

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Ursberg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Ursberg a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
