We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Ganges in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ganges in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
