Cheap Flights to Cochecton from HK$1,135

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cochecton could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Cochecton a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
