Cheap Flights to Monclar-de-Quercy from HK$396

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Monclar-de-Quercy. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Monclar-de-Quercy a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good 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, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
