Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kinnitty could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
