Cheap Flights to Aughrim from HK$676

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Aughrim escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Aughrim, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
