Flights to Kushtia, Khulna Division from NT$17,168

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kushtia escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kushtia, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
