Do you have any tips for my flight to Belfast?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Belfast escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Belfast?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Belfast, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
