Cheap Flights to Franklin Park from HK$1,007

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Franklin Park. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Franklin Park before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
