Cheap Flights to Tezpur from HK$667

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Tezpur holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tezpur, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport 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 metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
