Cheap Flights to Weggis from HK$432

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Weggis vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Weggis quick and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
