Cheap Flights to Arosa from HK$330

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Arosa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Arosa, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off 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 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.
