Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Kosakowo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Kosakowo a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
