Cheap Flights to Sanam Kli from HK$591

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sanam Kli could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Sanam Kli a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
