Cheap Flights to Chikkaballapur from HK$381

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Chikkaballapur. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

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 one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Chikkaballapur easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
