Cheap Flights to Robert-Espagne from HK$5,415

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Robert-Espagne could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Robert-Espagne a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• 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 no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
