Cheap Flights to Ribes from HK$969

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Ribes in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ribes in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No 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 can bring it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
