Flights to Sint Denijs-Westrem, Ghent from NT$9,115

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sint Denijs-Westrem could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Sint Denijs-Westrem, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
