Flights to Jagatpur, Bagmati from NT$9,074

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Jagatpur. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Jagatpur in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
