Cheap Flights to Gujrat from HK$832

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Gujrat holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gujrat in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
