No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Liscannor holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
