Cheap Flights to Saint-Hubert from HK$683

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Saint-Hubert holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saint-Hubert before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
