Cheap Flights to Sivaganga from HK$1,883

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Sivaganga escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sivaganga in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
