Do you have any tips for my flight to Galway?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Galway in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Galway?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Galway, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
