We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Sigriswil in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sigriswil in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
