Flights to Antwerp, Flemish Region from NT$20,799

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Antwerp before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Antwerp a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a 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 separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
