Cheap Flights to Béthencourt-sur-Mer from HK$552

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Béthencourt-sur-Mer holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Béthencourt-sur-Mer in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
