Cheap Flights to Villarembert from HK$417

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Villarembert could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Villarembert in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
