Cheap Flights to Merdrignac from HK$408

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Merdrignac could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Merdrignac in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
