Cheap Flights to Le Tholy from HK$852

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Le Tholy holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Le Tholy, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), 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 shoes is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
