We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Hosur before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Hosur a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
