Cheap Flights to Clonmellon from HK$3,250

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Clonmellon could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Clonmellon before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
