Cheap Flights to Noordwijkerhout from HK$362

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Noordwijkerhout. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Noordwijkerhout a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
