Cheap Flights to Montvale from HK$3,256

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Montvale before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Montvale in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
