Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Rosslare holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.
