We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Berne in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Berne a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
