Cheap Flights to Saint-Herve from HK$4,414

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Saint-Herve holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Saint-Herve, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring 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-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
