How to survive the flight to Athenry?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Athenry.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athenry?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Athenry, here you come:

  • Have your passport and travel documents close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
