Cheap Flights to Wurzen from HK$1,927

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Wurzen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Wurzen quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
