Cheap Flights to Serfaus from HK$276

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Serfaus holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Serfaus, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
