Cheap Flights to Duhamel from HK$773

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Duhamel escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Duhamel a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
