Flights to Rajpipla, Nandod from NT$4,117

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Rajpipla. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Rajpipla a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
