Cheap Flights to Wallau from HK$610

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Wallau escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wallau, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
