Flights to Warsaw, New York from NT$8,974

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Warsaw before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Warsaw quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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.
