We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Dharwad in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Dharwad a breeze. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• 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 like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
