Cheap Flights to Les Belleville from HK$2,275

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Les Belleville escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Les Belleville in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
