Cheap Flights to Plouescat from HK$569

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Plouescat escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Plouescat a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
