Cheap Flights to Winterthur

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Winterthur in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Winterthur, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
