Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Caherdaniel could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
