Cheap Flights to Figaro-Montmany from HK$335

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Figaro-Montmany. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Figaro-Montmany before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
