Flights to Magudanchavadi, Sankagiri from NT$2,445

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Magudanchavadi vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Magudanchavadi in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
