Cheap Flights to Megeve from HK$915

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Megeve escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Megeve easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
