Cheap Flights to Wageningen from HK$823

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Wageningen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

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

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
