Cheap Flights to Chikkaballapur from HK$227

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Chikkaballapur.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chikkaballapur in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
