Cheap Flights to La Turbie from HK$277

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in La Turbie in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended 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 promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to La Turbie easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
