Cheap Flights to Grande Riviere from HK$1,868

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Grande Riviere. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained 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 and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Grande Riviere, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
