Flights to Siruseri, Chennai from NT$7,262

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Siruseri could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Siruseri, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
