Cheap Flights to Killarney from HK$424

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Killarney holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Killarney a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
