How to survive the flight to Emerald Isle?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Emerald Isle could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Emerald Isle?
It’s all about being organized. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Emerald Isle, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
