Cheap Flights to Belle Chasse from HK$690

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Belle Chasse in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

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 one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Belle Chasse, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
