Flights to Thatta, Sindh from NT$22,790

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Thatta could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Thatta in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
