Flights to Vengurla, Maharashtra from NT$1,984

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Vengurla vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Vengurla, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
