Cheap Flights to Puliyadda from HK$1,246

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Puliyadda. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Puliyadda before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
