Flights to Jaigaon, Alipurduar from NT$4,816

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Jaigaon vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Jaigaon, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
