Cheap Flights to Les Deserts from HK$261

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Les Deserts could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Les Deserts a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. 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 make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
