Cheap Flights to Thoiry from HK$176

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Thoiry in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Thoiry in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
