Cheap Flights to Nangis from HK$235

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Nangis escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Nangis easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• 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 set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
