Flights to Eygelshoven, Limburg from NT$16,264

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Eygelshoven escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Eygelshoven, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
