How to survive the flight to Galway?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Galway holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Galway?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Galway in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
