Cheap Flights to Les Epesses from HK$861

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Les Epesses. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Les Epesses quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
