Cheap Flights to Farmingdale from HK$3,488

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Farmingdale in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Farmingdale in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
