Cheap Flights to Madanapalle from HK$381

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Madanapalle in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Madanapalle in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
