Cheap Flights to Katwijk from HK$6,165

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Katwijk could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Katwijk, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
