Cheap Flights to Varaignes from HK$563

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Varaignes escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Varaignes a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
