Cheap Flights to Meulan-en-Yvelines from HK$292

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Meulan-en-Yvelines could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Meulan-en-Yvelines a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
