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

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Cashel a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
