Flights to Nowe Brzesko, Kraków from NT$7,455

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Nowe Brzesko escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Nowe Brzesko quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
