Cheap Flights to Les Vans from HK$4,767

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Les Vans. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Les Vans in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
