Cheap Flights to Woerlitz from HK$1,651

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Woerlitz holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Woerlitz, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
