We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Baar in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Baar, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
