Cheap Flights to Giessbach from HK$369

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Giessbach before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Giessbach in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
