Cheap Flights to Le Creusot from HK$349

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Le Creusot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Le Creusot, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
