Flights to Seoni, Madhya Pradesh from NT$28,019

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Seoni could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready 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 screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Seoni, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you 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.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
