Cheap Flights to Orgnac-l'Aven from HK$418

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Orgnac-l'Aven. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Orgnac-l'Aven in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger 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 baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
