Cheap Flights to Colomadu from HK$511

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Colomadu in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Colomadu in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, 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 bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
