Cheap Flights to Kandersteg from HK$545

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Kandersteg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kandersteg in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
