Cheap Flights to Montferrand from HK$395

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Montferrand could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Montferrand a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
