Cheap Flights to Gouesnou from HK$1,141

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gouesnou could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gouesnou before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
