Cheap Flights to Montaud from HK$463

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Montaud escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Montaud in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
