Do you have any tips for my flight to Porthcawl?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Porthcawl escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Porthcawl?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Porthcawl before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
