Cheap Flights to Princeton from HK$3,606

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Princeton could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Princeton in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• 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 no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
