Cheap Flights to Lauchringen from HK$3,810

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Lauchringen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Lauchringen easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
