Flights to Uden, North Brabant from NT$3,299

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Uden vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Uden, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
