Flights to Harmelen, Utrecht from NT$4,811

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Harmelen in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Harmelen a breeze. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
