Cheap Flights to Sainte-Suzanne from HK$2,229

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Sainte-Suzanne holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Sainte-Suzanne a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand 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 baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
