Cheap Flights to Zywiec from HK$184

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Zywiec could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Zywiec in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
