Flights to Wola Ducka, Warsaw from NT$6,156

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Wola Ducka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Wola Ducka a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
