Cheap Flights to Spreitenbach from HK$329

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Spreitenbach could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Spreitenbach, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
