Cheap Flights to La Roche-sur-Foron from HK$983

If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in La Roche-sur-Foron. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to La Roche-sur-Foron in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
