Cheap Flights to Dungannon from HK$273

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Dungannon holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Dungannon quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
