Cheap Flights to Bijapur from HK$1,799

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bijapur could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bijapur, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
