Flights to Paravur, Kollam from NT$26,637

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Paravur could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Paravur a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
