Cheap Flights to Basking Ridge from HK$1,099

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Basking Ridge vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Basking Ridge in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
