Cheap Flights to Carradale from HK$584

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Carradale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Carradale before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat 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 electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
