Flights to Olszyny, Szczytno from NT$6,782

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Olszyny. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Olszyny in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
