How to survive the flight to Magherafelt?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Magherafelt.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Magherafelt?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Magherafelt, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent 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 greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
