Flights to Nimu, Leh from NT$5,029

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Nimu in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Nimu quick and painless. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
