Cheap Flights to Mareuil-les-Meaux from HK$309

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Mareuil-les-Meaux holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, 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 lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Mareuil-les-Meaux, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
