Cheap Flights to Bagneres-de-Luchon

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bagneres-de-Luchon could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bagneres-de-Luchon easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
