Cheap Flights to Ballydehob from HK$1,101

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Ballydehob.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Ballydehob quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
