Flights to Taoru, Haryana from NT$2,936

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Taoru. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Taoru in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
