Cheap Flights to Redon from HK$469

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Redon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial 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 can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Redon a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
