No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well organised. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Wexford escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.
