Flights to De Haar, Balkbrug from NT$18,209

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of De Haar in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out De Haar, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
