Cheap Flights to Rameshwaram from HK$1,389

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Rameshwaram.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Rameshwaram a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
