Cheap Flights to Dublin Shore from HK$388

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Dublin Shore could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Dublin Shore easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
