Cheap Flights to Chavannes-près-Renens from HK$267

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chavannes-près-Renens could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Chavannes-près-Renens a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
