Cheap Flights to Baltinglass

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Baltinglass holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Baltinglass easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up 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 heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
