Flights to Harichaur, Gandaki from NT$19,481

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Harichaur could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Harichaur a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
