Cheap Flights to Bijnor from HK$1,226

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Bijnor holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Bijnor, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
