Flights to Nowa Wies, Serock from NT$4,429

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Nowa Wies vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Nowa Wies, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
