Flights to Changunarayan, Bagmati from NT$6,562

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Changunarayan in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Changunarayan, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
