Cheap Flights to Drogheda from HK$653

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Drogheda escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Drogheda easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
