Do you have any tips for my flight to Clifden?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Clifden could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Clifden?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Clifden, here you come:
  • Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
