Cheap Flights to Enniscrone from HK$1,115

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Enniscrone. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare 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 comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Enniscrone in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
