Cheap Flights to Les Rousses

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Les Rousses escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Les Rousses, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
