We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Ballycastle in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial 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 zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Ballycastle a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
