Cheap Flights to Kedarnath from HK$1,719

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kedarnath could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. 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 hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Kedarnath, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
