Answer
After a while the dandruff should disappear, if not ask a vet to prescribe something, the stuff you buy in pet stores often does not work well.
Are you sure you want to take your hamster with you? Many places will look after him while you are away, or you can ask a friend to look after him..? If that is not possible, buy one of those fairly big plastic containers for travelling rodents, and give him plenty bedding and food on the journey. Also make sure it does not get too hot (or cold).
Wishing you the best of luck, A Happy New Year and a great vacation!
Best wishes,
