Flights to Asperen, Gelderland from NT$10,085

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Asperen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Asperen easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
