Flights to Zutphen, Gelderland from NT$18,179

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Zutphen vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Zutphen, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
