Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Comber could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
