We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Kinsale in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more 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 choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

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

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
