Cheap Flights to Jammu from HK$707

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Jammu holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of 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 ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Jammu in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
