Cheap Flights to Thollon-les-Memises from HK$261

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Thollon-les-Memises could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Thollon-les-Memises in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
