Cheap Flights to Thalwil from HK$455

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Thalwil in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Thalwil a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
