Cheap Flights to Ballincar from HK$1,470

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Ballincar escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ballincar in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
