Cheap Flights to Saint-Riquier from HK$972

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Saint-Riquier before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saint-Riquier before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
