Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Poprad could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Poprad in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
