Cheap Flights to Scherpenzeel from HK$1,807

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Scherpenzeel vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Scherpenzeel in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
