Cheap Flights to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer from HK$1,008

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. 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:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
