Flights to Karjat, Maharashtra from NT$3,125

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Karjat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Karjat, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
