Cheap Flights to Rabka from HK$304

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your holiday in Rabka. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rabka in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices 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 before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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.
