Flights to Rosmalen, North Brabant from NT$17,324

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Rosmalen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rosmalen, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
