We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Ballyvourney in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
