Cheap Flights to Sirnach from HK$276

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Sirnach before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sirnach before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
