Cheap Flights to Montereau-Fault-Yonne from HK$259

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Montereau-Fault-Yonne could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Montereau-Fault-Yonne a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
