Flights to Madale, Kolhapur from NT$8,188

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Madale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Madale a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good 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 extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
