Cheap Flights to Saint-Philippe from HK$6,125

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Saint-Philippe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saint-Philippe in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
