Cheap Flights to North Tonawanda from HK$3,534

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in North Tonawanda. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to North Tonawanda in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
