If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Millstreet.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Millstreet, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
