Cheap Flights to Saint Cloud from HK$778

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Saint Cloud escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Saint Cloud a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. 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, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
