Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Inishmore could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
