Cheap Flights to Frenchtown from HK$3,246

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Frenchtown could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Frenchtown a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? 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-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
