No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Rosscarbery escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Rosscarbery a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
