If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Dublin. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
