Flights to Chirala, Andhra Pradesh from NT$7,116

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Chirala.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul 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 while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Chirala a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. 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.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
