Flights to Brielle, Rotterdam from NT$40,092

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brielle could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Brielle quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
