We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Strandhill before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Strandhill a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
