Cheap Flights to Kuthambakkam from HK$500

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Kuthambakkam in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Kuthambakkam a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume 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), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
