Cheap Flights to Pointe D'esny from HK$2,054

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pointe D'esny could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pointe D'esny in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
