Cheap Flights to Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier from HK$1,018

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying 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 walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
