Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Szymbark vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Szymbark in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
