• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Raron easy and painless. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
