Flights to Moga, Punjab from NT$21,476

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Moga escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Moga, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
