Cheap Flights to Saint-Chaffrey from HK$358

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saint-Chaffrey could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Saint-Chaffrey a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
