Cheap Flights to Mundakayam from HK$1,232

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Mundakayam escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mundakayam in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
