Cheap Flights to Garde-Colombe from HK$332

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Garde-Colombe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Garde-Colombe a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
