Cheap Flights to Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune from HK$387

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, 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 priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
