Cheap Flights to Villeneuve-la-Garenne from HK$232

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Villeneuve-la-Garenne holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Villeneuve-la-Garenne a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
