Cheap Flights to Bourg-des-Comptes from CA $77

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Bourg-des-Comptes. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bourg-des-Comptes in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
