Flights to Lanesborough, County Longford from NT$25,121

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lanesborough could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel 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:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lanesborough before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
