Cheap Flights to Riverdale from HK$972

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Riverdale could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Riverdale in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
