Cheap Flights to Fort Coulonge from HK$4,594

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fort Coulonge could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Fort Coulonge in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• 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 before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
