Cheap Flights to Mamaroneck from HK$1,168

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Mamaroneck escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Mamaroneck, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
