Flights to Chengalpattu, Chennai from NT$4,662

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chengalpattu could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Chengalpattu, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
