Flights to Putten, Gelderland from NT$18,179

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Putten escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination 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 pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Putten a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
