Cheap Flights to Fontaine-Chaalis from HK$302

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your time in Fontaine-Chaalis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Fontaine-Chaalis, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
