We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Isleornsay before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

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

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
