Flights to Haridwar, Uttarakhand from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Haridwar escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Haridwar, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
