Cheap Flights to Schull from HK$3,566

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Schull could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space 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:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Schull easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
