Cheap Flights to Petit-Etang from HK$7,916

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Petit-Etang. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Petit-Etang before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
