Cheap Flights to Sint-Michielsgestel from HK$2,585

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Sint-Michielsgestel. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sint-Michielsgestel in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
