Cheap Flights to Yvoire from HK$899

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Yvoire could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Yvoire, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
