Cheap Flights to Shirwal from HK$363

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Shirwal holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Shirwal a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
