Flights to Peravurani, Perambalur from NT$9,733

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Peravurani. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Peravurani, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
