Cheap Flights to Zinal from HK$4,544

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Zinal in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Zinal in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
