Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Strabane could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
