Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Dungannon vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
