We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Emmetten before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Emmetten easy and painless. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
