Cheap Flights to Arsikere from HK$700

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Arsikere escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Arsikere quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
