Cheap Flights to Tilottama from HK$1,917

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Tilottama holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket 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 be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Tilottama, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
