Flights to Palliyadi, Kalkulam from NT$5,909

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Palliyadi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Palliyadi in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
