We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Lake Geneva in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Lake Geneva, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
