Cheap Flights to Peekskill from HK$1,592

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Peekskill.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Peekskill in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
