Cheap Flights to Matane from HK$1,111

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Matane escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Matane, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
