Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ulrichen could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Ulrichen a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
