How to survive the flight to Ascona?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Ascona in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ascona?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Ascona, 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 show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. 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 permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
