Cheap Flights to Mont-Tremblant from HK$792

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Mont-Tremblant holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Mont-Tremblant, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
