Cheap Flights to Silz from HK$766

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Silz in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Silz a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
