Cheap Flights to Les Ormes from HK$3,029

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Les Ormes escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring 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 of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Les Ormes, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
