Flights to Karauli, Rajasthan from NT$4,659

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Karauli could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Karauli a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
