Flights to Pruszkow, Warsaw from NT$5,138

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pruszkow could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pruszkow in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
