Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Edgeworthstown could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Edgeworthstown in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
