Cheap Flights to Auriol from HK$1,299

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Auriol vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Auriol easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
