Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Cloghane holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride 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 hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
