Cheap Flights to Irishtown

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Irishtown in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Irishtown a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
