Cheap Flights to Rouffignac from HK$195

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rouffignac could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Rouffignac, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
