Cheap Flights to Orlean from HK$1,227

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Orlean vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Orlean a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical 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.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
