Do you have any tips for my flight to Ballymena?

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Ballymena. What to pack in your hand luggage:

First things first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ballymena?

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ballymena before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
