Do you have any tips for my flight to Wales?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Wales in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wales?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Wales, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
