Cheap Flights to Ballyfarnon from HK$1,404

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your time in Ballyfarnon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Ballyfarnon a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
