Cheap Flights to Boonton from HK$1,224

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Boonton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Boonton in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
