Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Dungiven escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
