Cheap Flights to Marquise from HK$2,176

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Marquise could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take 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 hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Marquise in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
