Cheap Flights to Cardonnette from HK$336

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Cardonnette escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Cardonnette, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
