Cheap Flights to Le Tanu from HK$1,924

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Le Tanu could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Le Tanu easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
