Cheap Flights to Estaing from HK$3,223

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Estaing. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity 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, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Estaing quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, 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 your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
