Cheap Flights to Ballingarry from HK$1,094

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Ballingarry. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Ballingarry easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
