Flights to The Hague, from NT$18,524

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to The Hague could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out The Hague, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
