Cheap Flights to Templepatrick from HK$283

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Templepatrick could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Templepatrick in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
