Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Glendalough vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
