Flights to Venhorst, North Brabant from NT$9,010

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Venhorst. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Venhorst quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
