Cheap Flights to Menetreuil from HK$534

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Menetreuil. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase 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 aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Menetreuil a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
