Cheap Flights to Bageshwar from HK$760

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bageshwar holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bageshwar in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
