Cheap Flights to Tiffauges from HK$451

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Tiffauges holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tiffauges in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
