Cheap Flights to Bilaspur from HK$427

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Bilaspur in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Bilaspur, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
