Cheap Flights to Bad Zurzach from HK$473

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Bad Zurzach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Bad Zurzach a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
