Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Dungiven escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Dungiven, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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 soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
