No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ballinderry vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ballinderry in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock 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.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
