Cheap Flights to Kanipakam from HK$1,273

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kanipakam could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kanipakam before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
