Cheap Flights to Ranakpur from HK$392

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Ranakpur in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ranakpur before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear 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. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
