Flights to Veere, Zeeland from NT$17,593

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Veere. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Veere, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
