Cheap Flights to Balrampur from HK$284

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Balrampur could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items 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 the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
