Cheap Flights to Aiguilles from HK$168

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Aiguilles could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Aiguilles, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
