Flights to Galder, North Brabant from NT$4,004

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Galder.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

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

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
