Cheap Flights to Forkhill from HK$460

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Forkhill could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Forkhill in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
