Cheap Flights to Kinsale from HK$1,165

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kinsale could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Kinsale easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. 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 electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
