How to survive the flight to Ballymena?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Ballymena could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ballymena?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Ballymena a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
