How to survive the flight to Lugano?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Lugano.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lugano?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Lugano easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
