Cheap Flights to Ville Platte from HK$6,926

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Ville Platte before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Ville Platte, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
