Cheap Flights to Eluru from HK$291

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Eluru holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Eluru easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
