Cheap Flights to Maheshwar from HK$1,172

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Maheshwar vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Maheshwar in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
