Cheap Flights to Sitamarhi from HK$428

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Sitamarhi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Sitamarhi, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
