Cheap Flights to Cologny from HK$381

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Cologny escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes 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 shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Cologny a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
