Cheap Flights to Charmant from HK$449

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Charmant could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Charmant a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
