Flights to Pregowo, Gdansk from NT$6,306

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Pregowo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume 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 with loose, natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pregowo before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
