Cheap Flights to Obersaxen from HK$327

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Obersaxen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Obersaxen in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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 in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
