Cheap Flights to Tignes from HK$510

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tignes could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tignes in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
