Cheap Flights to Franconville from HK$249

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Franconville before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Franconville, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, 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 before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
