Cheap Flights to Watten from HK$2,691

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Watten escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

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

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
