Cheap Flights to Matulji from HK$1,236

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Matulji. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be 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 pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Matulji quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
