Flights to Haaltert, Flemish Region from NT$13,556

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Haaltert.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Haaltert in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
