• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Murten, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
