If you’re not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Giswil.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Giswil easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind 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 before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional 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.
