Flights to Arkel, South Holland from NT$4,506

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Arkel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

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 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Arkel, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport 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 make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
