I am flying back home to Ireland for a nice long weekend this week.
Hurrah.
I was last home over Easter so looking forward to seeing family, friends and my lovely dogs and cat!
Last time I was on a plane was last month when I jetted off to sunny Tenerife for a week. I imagine the weather waiting for me in Ireland won’t be quite as warm…
The four hour flight to Tenerife was fine going out there as I was very excitedly chatting to my parents about my new job and London life, reading magazines and staring out the window at the fluffy clouds.
The return flight was another story.
I was mind numbingly bored. After spending a week with my parents I had run out of things to say, all magazines had been read and as it was a later flight it was dark outside so no cloud spotting.
Luckily the flight to Ireland from London is only 50 minutes!
When flying I always try to wear comfortable clothes as there is nothing worse than being stuck in a seat with tight, skinny jeans for several hours! This has happened me before and I had to slyly open my button – don’t judge! The problem is remembering to do it back up when leaving the plane, nobody wants to stand up only to realise that their jeans are now around their ankles.
This was my traveling outfit home from Tenerife:
Outfit deets
Top: Zara
Trousers: Bershka
Sandals: Topshop
Bikini: Topshop
Bag: Mulberry
Sunglasses: Raybans
I never really know what to wear when flying. I always pack a pair of socks if I’m wearing sandals as I get so cold on flights. And once my feet are cold I have no hope! Plus I pack lots of layers. The problem is when you arrive at your destination: sandals to Ireland = wet toes and slipping to your death!

My new favourite thing for flights (and to bring to the park on hot days!) is Vichy Thermal Spa Water. I spray my face with it on a flight anytime I feel hot or need to perk up. Besides that I make sure I am stocked up with Rescue Remedy drops and plenty of magazines to distract myself during take-off.
I used to be a nervous flyer but have found myself getting more relaxed as the years have gone on. I still hate any sort of turbulence and have to sit by the window. In my head I feel more in control being able to see out. I have also started acupuncture in the last few months (I will do a blogpost on this if there’s interest at some stage too) and I find it really amazing.
Does anyone else have any flying tips? Any recommendations of what to bring on a flight?
