Flights to Gejsteren, Limburg from NT$4,315

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gejsteren could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Gejsteren, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
