Cheap Flights to Kaithal from HK$1,056

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Kaithal. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kaithal a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), 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 clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
