Flights to Bengaluru, Karnataka from NT$6,486

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Bengaluru.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bengaluru in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
