Cheap Flights to Plan-les-Ouates from HK$240

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Plan-les-Ouates could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Plan-les-Ouates in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, 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 larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
