Cheap Flights to Ratoath from HK$654

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Ratoath vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Ratoath a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
