Cheap Flights to Westendorf from HK$906

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Westendorf holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Westendorf, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
