Cheap Flights to Condrieu from HK$360

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Condrieu holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Condrieu before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
