Cheap Flights to Arques from HK$5,212

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Arques. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Arques in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
