Flights to Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh from NT$4,340

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kanpur could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Kanpur, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
