Cheap Flights to Pontresina

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Pontresina. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Pontresina a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
