Cheap Flights to White Plains from HK$551

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to White Plains could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out White Plains, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
