Cheap Flights to Davos from HK$799

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Davos.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Davos a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
