Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Adelboden vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Adelboden a piece of cake. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can’t travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
