No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Fethard on Sea holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
