Cheap Flights to Kilkenny

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kilkenny holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kilkenny in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
