Cheap Flights to Franklin Lakes from HK$1,032

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Franklin Lakes could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Franklin Lakes, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
