Cheap Flights to Oz-en-Oisans from HK$439

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oz-en-Oisans could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Oz-en-Oisans, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
