How to survive the flight to Glendalough?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Glendalough could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Glendalough?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Glendalough easy and painless. Below you’ll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
