Cheap Flights to Saint-Clement from HK$305

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Saint-Clement holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Saint-Clement in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
