Cheap Flights to Hyderabad from CA $58

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Hyderabad. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Hyderabad, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
