Flights to Munnekeburen, Friesland from NT$17,674

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Munnekeburen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Munnekeburen quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
