Cheap Flights to Poovar from HK$867

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Poovar holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Poovar a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
