Cheap Flights to Veldhoven from HK$374

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Veldhoven in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Veldhoven before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
