Cheap Flights to Les Brenets from HK$393

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Les Brenets could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of 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.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Les Brenets in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
