Flights to Muiderberg, North Holland from NT$21,825

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Muiderberg escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Muiderberg a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
