Cheap Flights to Saranac from HK$6,248

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saranac could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Saranac a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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.
