Cheap Flights to Mezilhac from HK$1,468

If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Mezilhac. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Mezilhac, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
