We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Soultzeren in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Soultzeren before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
