Cheap Flights to La Meziere from HK$482

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Meziere could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

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

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out La Meziere, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
