Cheap Flights to Duszniki Zdroj from HK$1,540

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Duszniki Zdroj holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Duszniki Zdroj, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember 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 no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
