• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Saanen in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a 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 lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
