Do you have any tips for my flight to Cardiff?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Cardiff escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, 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:
  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cardiff?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Cardiff, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • 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. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
