Cheap Flights to Blanchard from HK$1,024

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Blanchard before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Blanchard a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
