Flights to Chiplun, Maharashtra from NT$4,279

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Chiplun escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
