Cheap Flights to Sint-Michielsgestel from HK$2,230

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy hints that will get your Sint-Michielsgestel escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sint-Michielsgestel in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
