Cheap Flights to Plaisir from HK$298

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Plaisir.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Plaisir, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
