Cheap Flights to Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade from HK$385

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
