Cheap Flights to Montboyer from HK$1,342

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Montboyer. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Montboyer in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
