Flights to Haarzuilens, Utrecht from NT$12,640

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Haarzuilens in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Haarzuilens quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
