Cheap Flights to Nans-les-Pins from HK$550

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Nans-les-Pins. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Nans-les-Pins easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
