Cheap Flights to Rabastens from HK$399

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rabastens could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rabastens before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
