Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Ballintoy vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
