If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Zalesie Gorne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank 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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Zalesie Gorne in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
