Cheap Flights to Huez from HK$915

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Huez. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Huez, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
