Cheap Flights to Larchmont from HK$729

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Larchmont vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Larchmont quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
