How to survive the flight to Locarno?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Locarno could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Locarno?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Locarno, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
