Cheap Flights to Polczyn-Zdroj from HK$3,813

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Polczyn-Zdroj vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Polczyn-Zdroj easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
