Cheap Flights to Winterthur from HK$475

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will get your Winterthur escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Winterthur in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
