Cheap Flights to Aranthangi from HK$1,394

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Aranthangi vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Aranthangi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
