Cheap Flights to Mahopac from HK$6,620

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Mahopac.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Mahopac easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
