Cheap Flights to Kanpur from HK$624

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Kanpur before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Kanpur quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
