Cheap Flights to Saint-Priest from HK$249

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint-Priest could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Saint-Priest, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
