We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Doonbeg in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
