Cheap Flights to Bellaghy from HK$241

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bellaghy could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Bellaghy, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
