Cheap Flights to Hyderabad from HK$540

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hyderabad could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Hyderabad, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
