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

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Matten bei Interlaken, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
