Cheap Flights to Swidnica from HK$139

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

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Swidnica in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
