Cheap Flights to Konstancin-Jeziorna from HK$931

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Konstancin-Jeziorna. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Konstancin-Jeziorna in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things 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 the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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 be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
