Flights to Gurugram, Haryana from NT$6,049

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Gurugram vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Gurugram a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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 soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
