Flights to Tongeren, Wijhe from NT$7,690

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Tongeren.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Tongeren a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
