How to survive the flight to Cardiff?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Cardiff in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember 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 differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cardiff?
Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Cardiff a pleasure. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
