Cheap Flights to Wagrain from HK$4,280

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Wagrain.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wagrain in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
