Cheap Flights to Ludhiana from HK$206

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ludhiana could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, 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 cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Ludhiana easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
