Cheap Flights to Irbid from HK$428

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Irbid escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Irbid a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
