Flights to Gosselies, Charleroi from NT$7,918

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Gosselies vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Gosselies a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
