If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Podborze. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Podborze before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
