Do you have any tips for my flight to Cardiff?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Cardiff escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cardiff?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Cardiff quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
