Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chateau-d'Oex could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Chateau-d'Oex quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
