Cheap Flights to Sauveterre-De-Guyenne from HK$429

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Sauveterre-De-Guyenne holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sauveterre-De-Guyenne in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
