Cheap Flights to White Plains from HK$4,961

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to White Plains could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to White Plains easy and painless. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
