Cheap Flights to Weidenbach from HK$2,039

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Weidenbach escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger 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 choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Weidenbach, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
