Cheap Flights to St. Gallen

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your St. Gallen holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to St. Gallen a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
