We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Adare in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Adare before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not 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 luggage.
