We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Kilfinane before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Kilfinane a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? 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 luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
