Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Szczawnica could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, 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. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Szczawnica, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
