Cheap Flights to Domancy from HK$894

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Domancy holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Domancy in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
