Flights to Kashipur, Uttarakhand from NT$4,201

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kashipur could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Kashipur a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
