Cheap Flights to Marcoussis from HK$283

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Marcoussis escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Marcoussis a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
