Cheap Flights to Le Mas from HK$474

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Le Mas could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Le Mas a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• 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 will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
